總投票權，相關內容如下：
Commencement of Share Buyback Total Voting Rights
Winking Studios Limited (AIM / SGX:WKS), (“Winking Studios”) one of the
world’s largest AAA game art outsourcing studios and an established game
development company, announces that the Company has initiated a share buyback
programme for an initial aggregate consideration of up to approximately
S$857,000 (equivalent to approximately £500,000 or US$665,000) (the
“Initial Programme”), pursuant to the share buyback mandate approved by
Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 30 April 2026
(the “EGM”).
In line with best practice of companies listed on AIM, this announcement is
made to provide clarity and context to shareholders on the Company’s capital
allocation approach and the exercise of the mandate granted at the EGM,
ensuring investors are informed of the commencement and parameters of the
Initial Programme.
The Initial Programme will be conducted through one or more duly licensed
stockbrokers appointed by the Company in accordance with the authority
granted to the Company under the share buyback mandate, details of which are
set out in the circular to Shareholders dated 7 April 2026 (the
“Circular”). Under the share buyback mandate, the Company is authorised to
purchase or otherwise acquire up to 44,193,811 ordinary shares of par value
S$0.04 each in the capital of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) representing
up to 10 per cent. of the total number of existing Ordinary Shares, excluding
any treasury shares and subsidiary holdings, as at the date of the EGM.
The Board believes that the current market value of the Company’s Ordinary
Shares does not appropriately reflect the underlying value of the Group and
that the Initial Programme represents an appropriate use of capital.
Johnny Jan, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer (Founder) of
Winking Studios, commented:
“As part of our long-term growth strategy, we remain committed to
disciplined capital allocation, balancing investments in growth opportunities
with initiatives focused on enhancing shareholder returns.
“With our dual-listing status on SGX and AIM, we occasionally observe
valuation disparities between the two markets that may not fully reflect the
underlying fundamentals, earnings potential, and long-term prospects of the
Group.
“When such opportunities arise, share buybacks represent a prudent
deployment of capital. This initiative also underscore our confidence in the
strength of our business, the sustainability of our growth strategy, and our
commitment to creating long-term value for shareholders.”
Additional Information on the Share Buyback Mandate
The Board retains discretion to vary the timing, quantum and pace of
purchases having regard to market conditions, the Company’s capital
requirements and the limits of the share buyback mandate.
The maximum price payable by the Company for any Ordinary Share purchased
pursuant to the share buyback mandate shall not exceed, in the case of a
market purchase, 105 per cent. of the average closing price of the Ordinary
Shares over the last five market days on which the Ordinary Shares were
transacted immediately preceding the date of purchase.
The Company will not undertake any purchase of Ordinary Shares under the
Share Buyback Mandate if the public float is below 10 per cent, or if any
such purchase would result in the public float falling below 10 per cent.
The Company will also not undertake any purchase of Ordinary Shares at any
time after a price sensitive development has occurred or has been the
subject of consideration and/or decision of the Board until such price
sensitive information has been publicly announced.
At the time of each share buyback, the Directors of the Company will decide
whether the Ordinary Shares purchased or acquired will be cancelled or kept
as treasury shares, or partly cancelled and partly kept as treasury shares,
taking into consideration the then prevailing circumstances and requirements
of the Company at the relevant time.
Any purchase of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the share buyback mandate will
be announced in accordance with applicable Catalist Rules, the AIM Rules for
Companies, UK MAR and other applicable laws and regulations.
Full details of the share buyback mandate can be found here:

Total Voting Rights
As at the date of this announcement, the number of Ordinary Shares in issue,
and the total number of voting rights in the Company, is 441,938,118.
The above figure of 441,938,118 may be used by Shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they
are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in,
the share capital of the Company under the applicable disclosure and
transparency rules and laws.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

股份回購計畫啟動總投票權
Winking Studios Limited（AIM／SGX：WKS）（下稱「Winking Studios」）為全球
最大的AAA遊戲美術外包工作室之一，同時也是一家成熟的遊戲開發公司。公司
宣布，根據股東於2026年4月30日舉行之股東特別大會（「EGM」）批准的股份回
購授權，已啟動股份回購計畫，初步總對價上限約為857,000新加坡元（約等值於
500,000英鎊或665,000美元）（「初始計畫」）。
依照 AIM 上市公司最佳實務，本公告旨在向股東提供有關公司資本配置策略及
EGM 所授予授權執行情況的清晰說明與背景資訊，確保投資人了解初始計畫的啟
動及其相關參數。
初始計畫將透過公司委任之一家或多家持有適當執照的股票經紀商執行，並依據
股份回購授權賦予公司的權限進行。相關細節載於公司於2026年4月7日寄發予股
東的通函（「通函」）中。根據股份回購授權，公司獲准購買或以其他方式取得
最多44,193,811股每股面額0.04新加坡元之普通股（「普通股」），相當於EGM日
期當時已發行普通股總數（不包括庫藏股及子公司持股）的最多10%。
董事會認為，目前公司普通股的市場價值未能適當反映本集團的內在價值，而初
始計畫代表資本的合理運用。
Winking Studios 執行董事兼執行長（創辦人）Johnny Jan 表示：
「作為我們長期成長策略的一部分，我們持續致力於審慎的資本配置，在投資成
長機會與提升股東回報的措施之間取得平衡。
「由於我們同時在新加坡交易所（SGX）及AIM上市，偶爾會觀察到兩個市場之間
存在估值差異，而這些差異未必能充分反映集團的基本面、獲利潛力及長期前景。
「當出現此類機會時，股份回購是審慎運用資本的方式。此舉也彰顯我們對公司
業務實力、成長策略可持續性以及為股東創造長期價值的信心。」
股份回購授權之補充資訊
董事會保留依據市場狀況、公司資本需求及股份回購授權限制，自行決定調整購
買時間、規模及速度的權利。
根據股份回購授權，公司就任何依該授權購買之普通股所支付的最高價格，在市
場購買的情況下，不得超過購買日前最近五個普通股有成交之交易日平均收盤價
的105%。
若公眾持股比例低於10%，或任何此類購買將導致公眾持股比例降至10% 以下，
公司將不會根據股份回購授權進行普通股購買。此外，自價格敏感事件發生，或
董事會已開始審議及／或作出決定後，直至相關價格敏感資訊已公開公告之前，
公司亦不會進行任何普通股購買。
每次進行股份回購時，公司董事將依當時情況及公司需求，決定所購買或取得之
普通股是否予以註銷、保留為庫藏股，或部分註銷及部分保留為庫藏股。
任何根據股份回購授權進行之普通股購買，均將依照適用的Catalist規則、AIM
公司規則、英國市場濫用規則（UK MAR）及其他適用法律與法規進行公告。

總投票權
截至本公告日期，公司已發行普通股數量及公司總投票權數量為441,938,118。
上述441,938,118的數字可供股東作為計算基準，以判斷其是否須依據適用的資
訊揭露、透明度規則及法律，就其持有公司股本權益或該等權益之變動進行通
知。
奉董事會命
MR. JOHNNY JAN
執行董事兼執行長（創辦人）
